How to Retrieve Saved WiFi Password from Android Device

Have you ever forgotten your WiFi password on your Android device?

It happens to the best of us. You’ve connected to your WiFi network on your phone or tablet, but now you need to share the password with a friend or connect a new device, and you can't quite remember it. Fortunately, there is a way to retrieve the saved WiFi password from your Android device. Here's how:

  1. Go to 'Settings' on your Android device.
  2. Find and tap on 'Network & Internet'.
  3. Tap on 'WiFi' to see a list of networks.
  4. Tap on the connected WiFi network.
  5. A new window will pop up. Tap on 'Share'.
  6. You might be prompted to authenticate using your fingerprint, PIN, or pattern.
  7. Once authenticated, you will see the WiFi password displayed on the screen.

It's important to note that this method may not work on all Android devices as some manufacturers may restrict access to saved WiFi passwords for security reasons. If you are unable to retrieve the password using this method, you can always contact your Internet Service Provider for assistance or reset your WiFi password.
